This gun has an iron clad provenance. It was carried during the Great War of Secession by a soldier from South Carolina. It is believed to be one of the early 1860s that were sent to militia arsenals in the south just before the war began. After the surrender, he brought it home, wrapped it in an oily cloth and put it away. It is still in the possession of the same family living on the same farm land! Amazing what turns up from time to time!
